About

This webinar focuses on pediatric trauma care. It describes the importance of understanding trauma as it is a leading cause of death in children. The session covers fluid resuscitation and blood transfusion strategies for injured children, emphasizing early transfusion over excessive crystalloid use. It also explains non-operative management of solid organ injuries like spleen and liver lacerations based on hemodynamics rather than imaging findings. The talk highlights advances in managing these injuries to improve outcomes for young patients while minimizing invasive procedures.
